FERRARI 288 GTO

Not sure, I wonder.

 

I think its the cars owned by F1 pilots who had cars built for them are of real interest, although the others are also, obviously.

I think Irvine purchased his car many years post-production, but he used it quite a lot.

 

Anyone ought to agree that POV is completely subjective, and there is no right way to reference these cars, there is only the 'whatever-makes-you-happy' way.

Just finished reading Joe's 288 GTO article in Octane, wow, reading that gave me goose bumps. Between the excellent prose, great pictures it really was an article, which, in my opinion anyway harked back to the days of fine automotive journalism. In many ways it reminded me of the articles Mel Nichols in CAR magazine.

The cover of the magazine is wonderfully dramatic.

Well done!

 

Thank you Jacques!

 

It matters to me that my warranty book has Jean Sage in it

 

56205 is a good 288.

Harley purchased the car for his client Joseph Galdi of Tucson, AZ

 

Correct.

 

You got a list of the bad ones Marcel ?

Or more importantly, are you willing to share ?

It doesn't look bad (it can't) but it's significantly less impactful in that color.

 

55629 in Catania, Sicily, unfortunately with a modified front spoiler.

Automotive Vandalism.

Thankfully, its just the front spoiler which can hopefully still be sourced!

Joe I wish it was just the front spoiler ...

 

Rear brake scoops mean new side sills as well.

 

Vandalism would be a polite way to describe it... Hope all well Joe..
